Services Menu

A Demand Deposit Account (DDA) is a required cash account that facilitates a member's ability to do business with us. Additionally, we offer specialized accounts that improve our members' ability to manage their business lines and cash flows. Our team effectively and efficiently manages hundreds of DDAs with an average total balance of over $1 billion. All member transactions, including deposits, Fed settlements, advances, safekeeping, automated clearing house and wire transfer activity, are posted to the member's DDA each business day. Resulting balances are an integral part of each member's cash management tools.

These services include a range of Fedwire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) settlement services that facilitate our members' ability to securely and efficiently move funds between their FHLBank Pittsburgh DDAs and external accounts. The wire transfers, which include third-party transactions, can be domestic and international (i.e., in U.S. or foreign currencies).

We process hundreds of wire transfer and ACH settlement activities on our members' behalf every day, moving billions of dollars through the Fedwire system account. Our experienced professional staff uses state-of-the-art technology and members benefit from regulatory compliance monitoring. Combined with centralized, real-time reporting of account activity and balances via Bank4Banks, members are provided with effective tools to manage cash flows.

Reliable and competitively priced, our members have access to highly competent securities custodial services through JP Morgan, an industry leader in the custodial business. We process a full range of custodial services for book entry and physical securities, including: purchases, sales, transfers, principal and interest payments as well as security pledges. Members may set up any number of safekeeping accounts to satisfy their pledging and contractual requirements.

To provide flexibility for member settlement activities such as deposit, in-clearing items and other miscellaneous transactions, this service offers financial settlement, credit of availability and reconciliation of all member activities for which we are the primary correspondent. FHLBank Pittsburgh maintains accounts with multiple financial institutions, including several Federal Reserve Banks (FRB).
